Meal Prep Sunday

Finally got off my lazy butt on Sunday and did some food prep for the week.

I have to do this in order to stay on track.

I'm a thought track jumper with no regard for safety.
I become very distracted at the smallest of things so when I have everything in order and ready to go it is so much easier for me.

Everyday's food is prepared enough to grab and go.
Even every dinner's meat (either its in meatball form, marinating or pre-cooked)

Me:  5 meals per day at less than 300 calories each with dinner 500 or less.
I make Brian's lunch each day so he eats this too.
The kids have breakfast and dinner the same (snacks/lunch are different)

120 ounces of water/day (including my morning coffee)

Sunday I made ahead:

24 breakfast burritos 

30 meatballs (Meatballs recipe--so easy!)

Homemade spaghetti sauce (Spaghetti sauce recipe)

4 Chicken salads 

4 chicken breasts marinated in teriyaki sauce & honey

PB & J rollups & frozen yogurt  for the kids after school snacks.

(Making banana bread, oatmeal, and mini donuts for more snacks today)
Now I know I can do a lot more bc I got the above done in under 2 hrs.
Next week will be insane.

Walked 1 hour with Molly while blasting my Newsboys Pandora station.

Now I am off to fall into my creative rabbit hole for some graphic designs :)

Meal 3 is locked and loaded and Meal 4 will be perfect for my afternoon break.
